I just finished a new commission, but I can't share it yet, as the subject has yet to see it. What I will share are the sketches. I did two layouts and a number of head studies before moving onto the painting. I'll post the final piece soon.

Here are the 3 paintings I submitted to the Parkville In Art annual plein air painting competition. The paintings are on display now at the Cathy Kline Art Gallery - 173 English Landing Drive, Parkville, MO. In addition to other prizes, there is a people's choice award, so Parkville friends, please go and vote for me.

Thank you to Brush Creek Art Walk for honoring me with the First Place, Zone 1 Award for my painting "Morning On Brush Creek." Painted over the course of 3 sunrises, you can view a quick video of the process here.
